SteaMidra v6.5.8
What's new:
New features
- Added Steam Error 86 to the Home page FAQ alongside the existing Error 53 and 54 troubleshooting guides.
- Added an Auto Update Games button to the Home page Quick Start section, providing quick access to the per-game Steam Auto Update manager.
- Windows downloads can now prompt you to automatically enable Steam updates for newly downloaded games while preserving your existing Auto Update selections.
- Added a Fix Hash Issue button to Quick Tools on Linux. It automatically resets the Steam bootstrap with Headcrab, reapplies SLSsteam, and fixes common "Unknown steamclient.so hash" errors.
- Applying Goldberg Emulator now lets you choose between the Windows (gbe_fork) and Linux (gbe_fork_linux) versions.
Improvements
- Completed the cleanup of deprecated features. Removed Workshop Browser remnants, HyperVisor dialogs, obsolete Quick Tools entries, unused settings, JavaScript handlers, CSS rules, and other leftover components from previously removed functionality.
- SLSsteam configuration generation is now more complete. Missing required fields are automatically added during setup, preventing common "Missing key" configuration errors.
- Updated the default SLSsteam configuration to improve compatibility with Steam Deck and Steam client updates by avoiding unnecessary hash-abort failures.
- Headcrab setup now automatically detects whether Steam is installed natively or through Flatpak and installs SLSsteam to the correct locations.
- Startup is noticeably faster. The game name cache now loads directly from disk during startup instead of waiting for a large online database download.
- Linux downloads now display a Steam library selection dialog before downloading, including a Custom folder (outside Steam) option for manual installations without ACF generation or SLSsteam registration.
Fixes
- Fixed Hubcap API keys being requested again during downloads after already being validated in the Store tab.
- Improved Linux ACF generation to more closely match Steam's format, including additional metadata blocks and compatibility improvements.
- Fixed the Easy Anti-Cheat guide dialog being cropped in smaller windows. The dialog now scrolls correctly when needed.
- Fixed duplicate [DEBU] prefixes appearing in the live log panel.
- Resolved a deadlock that could freeze SteaMidra while refreshing the cached game name database.
- Removed automatic Steam client contribution and provider cache refresh timers during startup, reducing unnecessary network activity and improving launch performance.
